Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join the mailing list, or email friendsofcreasestgarden@gmail.com, to ask about the next work day..
What to expect
Work days are announced by email and the mailing list, and the site does not list dates or describe what a work day involves. The garden is a shared green space, and it closes at dusk.
Tips for your first visit
- Leave dogs at home, since the garden does not allow them.
- Take your trash home with you.
- Plan to leave before dusk, when the garden closes.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The mailing list and email are clear ways to ask, but the site gives no open days or sign-up steps for work days, so it is not clear a newcomer can join one..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Free. Joining the mailing list is free. Reserving the garden is free for up to 25 guests in 3-hour slots, and donations are welcome.
